Throat punch at sewing class last night

So this girl walks into sewing class last night 30 weeks pregnant. So of course I start asking all the normal questions. Is this your first?..it was. Next question: What are you having? Ugh...a boy...and then I got a face. She was obviously not happy about having a boy. It made me so mad and so sad. I can understand gender disappointment to a degree, but to be so open about not wanting a boy for your first child to a stranger...I felt like throat punching her... She knew it was 50/50 before she got pregnant...ugh...

    That makes me very sad. I've never talked to anyone who's felt that way, but if I did, I think I'd be honest and give them a piece of my mind. Hopefully when he arrives she'll fall in love with him.

    Wow, I can't believe she's doing that!  She should be careful.  I'm careful who I tell that I'm hoping for a girl this time around, because there are some idiots in my family who would totally say to my kid if it's a boy, "Oh your mommy wanted a girl but I guess everything turned out ok." or something stupid like that.  I can't believe she's saying that to total strangers!

    I couldn't help but think she was a horrible person. I had just talked about my LO 15 minutes before this incident and said "I have a one year old little boy, who is the light of my life". I thought about really saying something, but I have a hot head and sometimes it is better to keep my mouth shut.

    I had no idea how much I would love having a boy! We were team green so we didn't know ahead of time, but we would have been delighted with either a boy or a girl.
